I'm an engineer/musician/artist/designer/bricoleur/womble. :D

Now blogging at https://write.as/billysmith/

Currently working on #OSHW for the primary industry sectors; #Agriculture, #Aquaculture, #Energy, #PowerGeneration, #PowerStorage, #Sustainability, #Regeneration, #Resilience, #TerraForming.

You can't solve a #SocialProblem via TechnicalMeans, so i've focused on creating solutions that people can choose to build themselves. :D

Connect

Skype: I have reduced the use of Skype, after they brought in the harvesting of their user's data for their AI-dev program.
I do NOT recommend leaving Skype running in the background while you do something else.
Also, i do NOT recommend running Skype on Windows, as it was one source of drive-by installation of malware.

Meet.Coop: I have an account with them, so i use this for video-calls via web-browsers. Shout me on Discord, and i'll send you a link.
Yes, Discord has this facility, but Meet.Coop is based on BigBlueButton, so has a smaller machine-footprint than Discord.
Running both can mean that arguments take place over which software has control over the mic/camera, so i usually shut down Discord while i am video-meeting people, but i would do this anyway. TeamADHD, remember? 😆

Mastodon: https://social.coop/@BillySmith/
Social.coop is a Mastodon instance that is owned and run by it's users. 😀

Twitter: https://twitter.com/billy74919063/
I stopped using Twitter after it became a Nazi-bar. It was a shame because i enjoyed some of the conversations, but i didn't want to be tarred with that reputation. I have left that profile up. I have now deleted all of my Twitter Account.

Discord: Shout me as ThinkingWithVision on the Sensorica Discord server. 😀

Still setting this up. :D

Motivation

I like to eat, and eating well when other people are going hungry never tastes very good.
As a species we have had the technological capability to Feed, Clothe, House, Educate, and provide Medical/Social Care for everyone on our planet since the 1850's. Through the use of Open-Source HardWare solutions, we can empower everyone on our planet to make the solutions for themselves.
